Loki headed deeper into the large hallway, skirting past the Sun Room. He walked with quick efficiency, expecting that the mortals would either keep up all right, or at least Lust would be smart enough to say something if she couldn't. There was no reason to linger anywhere.

As they passed the Sun Room, Loki shot a quick look inside, but he didn't see anything moving. It didn't matter, since they weren't going there, but it was curious that the doors were always open.

Gumshoe didn't like letting her go in front (this was the exact same problem he'd had with Ms. von Karma), but he kept quiet. He reminded himself that she used to be on the force, which helped a little. But it was more because he was too nervous that he decided against saying anything.

He frowned at the back of her head as they walked, not knowing what to say while knowing he should say something. It was just as well she started talking again. A confused expression parked itself on his face at the first part, but she hadn't finished explaining yet. "W-Wait..." he said, leaning forward and tilting his head to look at the ring on her finger. His face scrunched up in thought. "Are you saying that ring... can take us to different places...!?" He didn't dare tell her what his first thought was; that that was impossible! But she sounded pretty sure of herself.

"You've been here for a while, Detective. Surely this isn't the first time you've heard of this?" It seemed more believable when she was pointing it out to someone else, in a confident, collected tone. Most things did.

And Detective Gumshoe was rather good at giving her opening lines. If she were a less charitable person, she'd have wondered if that was why Edgeworth worked with him. But he was also quite sincerely concerned for her safety. Ema's, too, and he'd known exactly what would have cheered her up last night.
